It is a BBR tradition to make a donation in honor of our clients during the holiday season. At the close of 2014, we proudly donate to Doctors Without Borders, a private, international association made up primarily of doctors and healthcare workers. Doctors Without Borders provides assistance to populations in distress, to victims of natural or man-made disasters, and to victims of armed conflict, irrespective of race, religion, creed, or political convictions. This year, in particular, we are mindful of people around the world whose daily lives are impacted by difficult circumstances such as the Ebola outbreak and ongoing conflict, and want to support this organization’s work to mitigate those conditions.

BBR had 20 participants demonstrate their commitment “to change the face of men’s health” by growing a moustache during the month of November. With support from colleagues, this group raised almost $5,000 for The Movember Foundation.

BBR sent a volunteer team to participate in FeedingNYC, a community effort to provide Thanksgiving meals to New Yorkers in need. The team successfully delivered 350 meals to families throughout Harlem and the Bronx.

BBR Partners, a wealth management firm based in New York and San Francisco, announced today the hiring of Barry M. Klayman as the firm’s Chief Operating Officer and newest Partner.

Mr. Klayman was previously a founding member of Asset Management Finance, LLC, a Credit Suisse affiliate. As BBR’s Chief Operating Officer he will coordinate all operational efforts to ensure efficient, secure and effective internal processes. Additionally, he will assist in formulating the strategic direction of the firm. “Barry will be an excellent addition to our firm. He has extensive experience in developing and executing operational process improvements, which will allow BBR to continue providing a high level of service to our clients,” said Evan Roth, Managing Partner of BBR Partners, who co-founded the firm in 2000.
